Lack of Senatorial Support? Please.
If the Dems would have ended their filibuster he would have recieved the support they say is so critical--for a mahority of the Senate would have voted for him. The Dems can't have it both ways.
I think this solution is perfect. The Prez gets to tweek the Dems, and we get our man in the UN. The Prez oughta put Miguel Estrada on the bench during this recess and then nom him to the SCOTUS when Rehnquist retires.
And if Bolton accomplishes what he and Bush want to accomplish at the UN, the Democrats will look even MORE foolish, if that's possible.
They did it to themselves, again.
